2 Arrested After Wild Police Pursuit Through West Covina, Whittier

WHITTIER (CBS) — Two bank robbery suspects were in custody Monday following a wild police pursuit through West Covina and Whittier.

A man and a woman were arrested by West Covina police after the chase ended just after 11 a.m. after the suspects allegedly robbed the First Federal Credit Union and then took off in a white van.

Police then broadcast a description of the white van, and officers began a pursuit on the San Bernardino (10) Freeway.

The pursuit went onto surface streets in Whittier, where the driver slowed down to allow a female to jump on board, and after clinging to the side of the vehicle, she finally climbed into the van through a window.
